STOPFINDER BUS APP
Daviess County Public Schools Transportation Department will be using a new parent app, Stopfinder, for student bus schedules and transportation communication. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere.
The primary email address that is currently on file with the district will be used for Stopfinder setup.
Parents can update their email in Infinite Campus in their parent portal on their own or they can contact their school’s front office to make changes to primary email addresses. To access your Parent Portal in IC from the Menu click “More” then Family Information. Be sure to click update to ensure changes are saved.
Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please contact the DCPS Transportation Department with any questions at 270-852-7080.
ATTENDANCE-Students that miss just two days of school a month can fall significantly behind and continue through middle and high school.
ANYTIME your child will not be at school, please call the office at 270-852-7450. DPCS policy allows families to have up to 8 sick call in days per year. If a child has not been called in sick or does not have a doctor's note upon return or faxed to the school within 3 days, the absence in counted as unexcused. After 3 unexcused absences a child is considered truant. After 6 unexcused absences, a child is considered habitually truant and the parent or guardian can be charged with educational neglect.
